With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

"Host, have you thought it through? If you have, then hurry up and complete the mission. Choose a man you like and make your move." The Pregnancy System's voice was confident, subtly revealing an arrogant control over life and death.

Azhen replied: 【I've thought it through.】

This surprised the Pregnancy System, which remained silent for a moment, as if it was surprised that she had made a decision so quickly.

Azhen found this rather interesting; this pregnancy system was a bit strange, seemingly quite familiar with its clients. She remained silent, waiting for the system's reaction.

"You didn't mention you were childless by choice before, and you accepted the mission so easily? Are you trying to pull some trick?" The Pregnancy System's suspicious voice sounded, but quickly turned sarcastic. "Host, I must remind you, once bound, there's only one path: completing missions. Remember, you bound yourself to me when your life was hanging by a thread. Without my binding, you would die the next moment. Only by successfully completing the missions will you have any hope of survival."

Azhen asked, "You mean, I can go back?"

"Of course, but I don't know exactly when we'll go back. Just focus on completing your missions," the Pregnancy System said, as if it had found a weakness, and continued, "But if you don't complete your missions properly, you'll never be able to go back."

A-Zhuang felt that it was probably not a coincidence that the pregnancy system was linked to the client.

She doesn't know the specifics yet, but she'll find out sooner or later.

"Whether I go back or not isn't that important. Besides, if it weren't for your system, I'd be dead, wouldn't I? Life and death are predestined." Azhen said casually. "I am indeed childless by choice, so I can't possibly follow the tasks assigned by the system."

[Oh, it seems the host still hasn't realized the seriousness of the forced mission and insists on hitting a brick wall. I won't try to persuade you; you'll see once you try.] Hearing that Azhen was unwilling to complete the mission, the Pregnancy System wasn't angry or anxious at all. In its view, after being bound to it, the host only had one path: completing missions. An ordinary person like her couldn't possibly change anything.

[Is that so?] A-Zhuang smiled as well. While the Pregnancy System was still gloating, she had already used her power to envelop it, cutting off any contact between it and the outside world. As the power slowly seeped in, the contract between the two was reversed in an instant.

Previously, the Pregnancy System was bound to her and controlled her destiny.

Now she's the one who's bound to the Pregnancy System and controls everything about it.

All of this happened so quietly that even the Pregnancy System itself didn't notice anything amiss, remaining completely oblivious and just watching the show.

She had created countless low-level systems like the Pregnancy System, so she was already very familiar with them and didn't need to put in much effort.

However, when she changed the contract just now, she discovered something very interesting.

Just as they were about to arrive home, the Pregnancy System's voice rang out: [Host, I hope you'll still be this determined three years from now.]

Azhen smiled and said, "Yes, I will."

We've arrived at the Qin family's residence.

This is a very ordinary farmhouse, and it looks a bit dilapidated, but there are quite a few rooms. Thanks to the blessings of their ancestors, everyone in the Qin family now has their own room to live in.

This place is Meixian County, Meihua Village.

The eldest member of the Qin family is the client's grandmother, Liu Hehua, who is fifty-one years old this year.

Liu Hehua has three sons and one daughter. Her daughter, Qin Dan, got married long ago, but not too far away. She occasionally comes back to show off her power.

The Qin family did not separate; the whole family lived together.

The eldest and second eldest sons of the Qin family have been married for many years, while the youngest son, who is twenty years old this year, is still unmarried.

It wasn't that Liu Hehua wasn't in a hurry, but Qin Shanjie considered himself a scholar, and even a student who had passed the preliminary examination. At his age, continuing to take the exam might not be hopeless; he was sure to have a future. He looked down on the girls in the village, and even the daughters of merchants.

He wanted to find a beautiful and high-status daughter of an official, someone who could help him rise through the ranks.

Qin Shanjie currently works at a bookstore in the county town and is doing quite well. At least in the eyes of the villagers, Qin Shanjie has a bright future.

The client's father was Qin Shanlin, the eldest son of the Qin family, and his mother was Cui Ying. The couple were both honest and unassuming, not very talkative, and only knew how to work quietly. They were not the apple of their grandmother Liu Hehua's eye, and this personality made them even less likable.

What's most displeasing is that Cui Ying injured her body during childbirth, making it difficult for her to conceive again. Liu Hehua is very dissatisfied with this.

As for finding Qin Shanlin a new wife or marrying him a younger one, that wasn't her heart's desire. She still had two children at home who needed to go to school, and Liu Hehua had no interest in that. Besides, the eldest son's family didn't have a son, so it was fine to just raise a money-losing child. That way, she could focus all her attention on supporting her youngest son and eldest grandson's education.

The eldest grandson of the Qin family, Qin Yunshu, comes from the second son of the Qin family, Qin Shanyan. He is sixteen years old and has already passed the preliminary imperial examination. Everyone in Plum Blossom Village thinks he has the best chance of making a name for himself. Naturally, Qin Yunshu enjoys an emperor-like status in his family.

Even though Liu Hehua didn't like girls, Qin Yunshu's sister, Qin Shan, benefited from it, and Liu Hehua couldn't help but love her granddaughter because of her.

Therefore, the Qin family is the family's hardworking ox.

"I told you to go dig some wild vegetables, why are you only coming back now? Were you slacking off?" As soon as I entered the Qin family's courtyard, a cursing voice rang out like a thunderclap, which could startle me if I wasn't careful.

A-Zhu wasn't scared. She walked in with her basket on her back and saw Liu Hehua standing in the yard with her hands on her hips.

Before Azhen could say anything, the other party launched into a tirade of insults.

After a while, seeing that Azhen still didn't say anything or get angry, she realized that the eldest son's family were all quiet and reserved, and she was used to it.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook! You're already fifteen, do I still have to teach you these things? You little brat, don't even think about slacking off! The whole family is waiting to eat."

The Qin family's cooking was indeed handled by the client, as there were two students in the family, and the adults had to work in the fields. When it wasn't busy with farming, they needed to do other work to supplement the family income. Naturally, all the household chores fell to the client, a young woman who was only a teenager.

As for her cousin Qin Shan, she had a smart older brother and a sweet tongue, so she easily charmed Liu Hehua, who turned a blind eye to her laziness.

There are people to do the housework.

Azhen glanced at Qin Shan's room; there was a gaze there, which must be Qin Shan secretly watching them.

Should I have her cook?

I can't do anything.

She didn't like cooking.

I only cook something to eat occasionally when I'm in a good mood.

As for whether the Qin family will go hungry, so be it, she won't go hungry anyway.

"Grandma, let Qin Shan do it. We're the ones who're in charge of the housework, and Qin Shan has never done any of this. It's time she learned to do it," Azhen said.

Cooking is impossible.

Azhen's words naturally enraged Liu Hehua. She glared at Azhen, then grabbed a feather duster and rushed towards Azhen, mercilessly striking her leg.

Azhen moved her feet lightly and floated up in the courtyard, without hurting Liu Hehua at all.

Instead, the once tidy courtyard was now a mess, and Liu Hehua even had some chicken feathers stuck to her face.

Seeing that Azhen was still standing safely in the corner, Liu Hehua almost fainted from anger.

"You've gone too far!" Liu Hehua glared at Azhen. "You little brat, you dare to hide? Don't you want to eat?"

Qin Shan, who was watching the commotion from inside the house, was also stunned. She really didn't expect that Qin Zhen, who had always been honest and obedient, would actually rebel, and that her grandmother couldn't do anything about it.

This startled Qin Shan. If Qin Zhen didn't do it, then she would be the only one left to do the housework.

That won't do. (End of Chapter)
